Driver not loading on Debian Stretch #21

Closed Timvrakas closed 8 years ago

Timvrakas commented 8 years ago

I am trying to set up a C720 (with coolstar's latest windows firmware) with the new Debian distrobution stretch (branch testing). The trackpad has the usual limited synaptics limited functionality but if I purge synaptics, and install the latest xf86-input-cmt from source, the driver will not load. I'm not sure what the issue is, but as soon as I log in, or run startx from VT-2, I get a frozen GNOME desktop, with a cursor in the center, but will not move, also I cannot use a mouse to move cursor, or get back to VT-2. It looks like system has crashed, then I have to restart

Oddly enough I have a cursor that works on the login screen before I log in (even without synaptics)

Any thoughts on what this could be or how to get some sort of debug info? Thanks TV

JK was my bad, the --prefix=/usr tripped me up, I had never needed it before on Ubuntu for some reason.
